A rare case of pleomorphic dermal sarcoma presented during pregnancy, a case report

Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare tumors arising in mesenchymal tissues and can occur almost anywhere in the body. They are rarely diagnosed during pregnancy. Pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) are dermal-based malignant tumors that usually present on sun-exposed sites of elderly patients and are morphologically similar to atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX). PDS is considered an aggressive cancer and likely to metastasize and reappear. Early detection and aggressive treatment improve outcomes.
